Okay, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but something's not right with the results based on the stats as I understand them. I'm seeing the Gauntlet down for 424 ticks and the Cube down for 205 ticks, which means the Gauntlet was down longer than the Cube was. Wouldn't that mean that Conclave should have won?

Now the Cube was down at the end of the weekend, the Gauntlet was not. Is that the deciding factor?

I grabbed those stats at midnight just after the House War Weekend ended so they should have been accurate.

Sure would.

Apologies to anyone who tried to read through the message while I was editing, it does goofy things when I adjust anything at all with the edit. I didn't like the subject title being not standard with the other subject titles, so I was fixing it for aesthetic reasons and the whole message got butchered. I kept the info in a text file just in case. Smile

Be interesting to see what the coders say about the outcome of this one considering what I see as a discrepancy. Not that I don't want my House to win, but if they're going to win, it should be on the merit of them having won and not by a code glitch.

I dont want to argue the results or anything, but I do feel that there has been an error in the coding. Only reason being that I am sure that Aquilinus was standing over the Gauntlet at Conclaves altar for nearly 3 cellestial hours. Heh. Its not a big deal, but if there is an error...

It may, I think, depend on how many ticks the Gauntlet was down at Brethren's altar wouldn't it? Or does that not play into account?

Saders item was down for longer than Conclave's item. By a ratio of 2:1 at least. Not to mention the number of defended ticks. We won this war weekend, even if the Code says we didn't.

Ok, I previewed the other results...this may be an option, I am no coder or nor do I know how it was coded, but yes Crusader's was down longer then Conclave's, but look at the defended ticks? Maybe the winner as the past 7 weeks is determined first by how many ticks its down defended, aside from undefended.

No dice. That encourages quitting out as soon as you lose your item and not logging in throughout the weekend.

For most of the defended time it means someone of the House was around to try to get the Item, but failed to. Undefended means when their item was taken, they bailed and quit out.

Which one makes more sense?

It makes sense in a way, but it also doesn't include the times when perhaps nobody is on and its taken and set down. But I know this house war thing is to encourage house play on weekends, so yeah you are correct. Doesn't even stop someone who is unhoused from raiding for it and dropping it on opposing houses altar when neither house is around...Heh.

And I was just going off of looking at the 7 past weekends to see how it all played out and coincidence or not, but the house's item with the most defended ticks down lost. Only whoever coded it can answer this really...

Or maybe 206+ of those ticks down on the Gauntlet were from Brethren. Giving the Crusader's downing the cube 205 ticks the win...

It is true at first glance that the Weekend House Wars are about PK. Peel back that thin layer just slightly, and you will see that winning the Weekend House Wars requires strategies beyond just killing people. The only measure of success is that the enemy's House relic is down the longest, removing their influence the longest. It can be down at any altar. Anyone may participate, knowing that their actions will help one of the two warring Houses win the prize. This opens the way for alliances between nonwarring Houses, favor exchanges, and so forth. The whole week before the weekend could also be filled with this RP and PK, giving one of the two warring Houses an advantage when the counts start midnight Friday



This would tell me that whoever's item is down the longest loses. Which means we should have won. It does not indicate whose item is down at midnight sunday wins. So we win.

The "item down" section regarding defended/undefended means whether the item down at the altar has player company. Defended - someone is there to repel a retrieval. Undefended - retriever has nobody to prevent a retrieval.

Defended/undefended raids are covered in the raids section of the report (first section reported).

The numbers imply that most of the time the Gauntlet was down, nobody was standing guard over it.

So I guess we're wondering if the main importance is having an item down defended instead of an item down undefended.

I'd question that a bit Joja, as I watched numerous members of Conclave sitting with the item. Vinnesh, Anlugovald, and Aquilinus to say the least. And I know that was for more than 18 ticks. I'm thinking the undefended means there were no members of the house whose item was down on at the time. So for 18 ticks there was a crusader on when their item was down, and for 406 ticks there were no crusaders around while their item was down.

Can we can get some clarification. But from my observation that is the case and not how it was stated previously.

Just at thought. So perhaps it makes a difference that only 18 ticks were the Crusaders without their powers, as there were none around to lose their powers the rest of the time?

I'm with Conclave on this though, it's not their fault Crusaders weren't around during that time.

I reckon this'll all make some sense when we see what the numbers really mean. If ticks down is the only deciding factor then I agree that Conclave should have the glory of the win plus the favor of the gods' stat enhancers.

Ah yes... Contrary to what I had said before, there IS a mistake in the code in that house downs are only counted when a member of the House is on. So you could indeed theoretically not play, which would give your House an advantage. This is terrible, and I apologize for that.

Fixing the code now. I will also switch around the winners for this round, since it is obvious. The numbers I see in our database match up nicely with the defended vs undefended stuff, so clearly Conclave should have won.

It does not matter where the House relic is down, so long as it is down at an altar that is not its own. This allows Legion and Brethren to shake things up if they wish, for example.

If I am getting what your saying Xuri, I just don't see that kinda as correct. So the houses in the war weekend, it doesn't matter what house takes the item and puts it down it still counts towards their loss? Just kinda ruins the point of a 1 v 1 house war. I mean if we are looking to promote allied houses and mayhaps even 2 v 2 house wars it should be such. Because if Conclave is getting their ass kicked by Sader then Brethren rolls around and destroys Sader and puts item down for many ticks...and Clave wins due to that? Just my thoughts.

This House alliance thing is where the RP comes in. Yes, Brethren could help Conclave against Crusader if they chose.
